Thumb's Up on Emergency Contact Form
Remember to Get Your Information to Security Patrol

Security Patrol members Mary Bird, left, and Lottie Tabor point to the blue Emergency Contact form that's been steadily rolling into Patrol headquarters

According to Security Patrol Chief Dick Clark, residents have turned in more than 300 emergency contact forms since it appeared as an insert in the August Link. The information listed on the form is the best way to ensure your family/friends are notified ASAP if something is wrong. So, whether you’re new to the community, or if your information has changed recently, be sure Security Patrol has the most current emergency contact information for you. It’s the best way to help keep you safe.

How the Electronic Speed Signs Work

bY SCSCAI Board member Barbara Holden met with Las Vegas Traffic Field Supervisor Karl Kelley to get the scoop on Sun City’s electronic speed signs. The signs are designed to remind residents of community speed limits, as well as to alert them when they are going too fast and need to slow down. Understanding the different speed limits in Sun City is important not only because obeying them is the law, but it is also the best way to keep residents safe.
LOCATIONS
Button Willow Drive
Villa Ridge Drive
TRIGGER FOR ACTIVATION:
Button Willow – After crossing over intersection of High Range Drive.
Villa Ridge – Approximately 3-4 houses out from the electronic sign.
POWER
Solar
BEAM
24x12 angle. Square sensor and round strobe.
COVERAGE
Vehicles, including golf carts.
WHAT TRIGGERS ACTIVATION?
1. Speed of 23 mph will trigger the electronic sign to display the vehicle speed. (Lower than 23 mph, the sign will remain dark.)
2. Speed of 26-36 mph will trigger the electronic sign to flash the vehicle speed.
3. Speed over 36 mph will remain dark. The unit is functioning as designed.

The Summit Offers Great View, Great Price

Sun City residents Cliff Talgo and his wife, Pat, topped off an afternoon of exercise last week at The Summit, where they enjoyed lunch with a beautiful view. “After swimming next door at the pool we got hungry, so we went next door,” said Cliff. “You can get a slice of pizza and a beer for $7. It’s a great deal.”
